Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science? Include details and examples to support your opinion. （05. 12.2; 07.10.17考题）

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

Music and art should be important components（成分，科目） of the school curriculum（课程） because they have many uses besides recreation.

To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with（接触） other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education.

Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys（传达） thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for（提供方法/途径） developing self-expression and creativity.

On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value（具有巨大价值）. Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing. Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.

Do you agree or disagree that cell phone usage should be banned in some places? Include details and examples to support your opinion. （05. 12.3; 07.11.11考题, 与07.7.21类似）

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

I strongly agree with the opinion that cell-phone usage should be banned in some places like concert halls, movie theaters or in some situations like when you are driving in cars or taking a subway, when you are in flight, in classes or meetings.

For one thing, it has become social etiquette（礼节）. The cell phone user should know when and where to pick up the cell phone and talk. Though people have personal right to use their phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in（被卷入） the unnecessary disturbance（不必要的打扰）.

For another, cellphone usage can harm a person's health. Brain cancer rates in the US have risen since cellphones were introduced, leading some people to wonder if cellphone usage is the reason for the increase.

In recognition of those above, there should be some kind of regulations helping with this problem. This way people will be well aware.

三、【媒体类】about media

托福口语Task2真题

Where do you learn more from, media like newspapers, TV , Internet or people like friends, family and teachers? （05. 12.16; 06. 6.10考题）

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

I think I learn more from people rather than media. I‘ll take my mother as an example. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step of the way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up. I‘m encouraged not only by her inspiring（令人鼓舞的） words but also by her action. By taking action, she has never been overwhelmed by pressure,

adversity（困境） and even danger. Also when I feel blue（情绪低落） sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friends for cheering up and comfort. While, media like TV or Internet can only equip me with（以…武装） knowledge and information, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction（精神上的满足）. So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.

四、【文化类】about culture

托福口语Task2真题

Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why. （05. 12.17; 07. 9.29; 08.2.16考题）

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

In my point of view, government should provide fund to build museums and theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.

The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and archaeology（考古学）, of natural history and even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always something different to see. Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of different regions. Even the world's best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries.

They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.

That's why I think it's a good idea for government to help with the building of museums and theaters.

五、【生活类】about life

托福口语Task2真题

Some people prefer to eat out. Others prefer home cooked meals with their family. Which of these types of meal do you prefer? Use specific examples and details for your preference. （06. 1.14考题）

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

Some people prefer eating out at a restaurant because they can eat a variety of delicious food in restaurants. However, I think that preparing food and eating home would be better for 3 reasons. First, home-cooked meals are always cheaper and cleaner. I don''''''''t have to pay a lot for the food in a restaurant or worry about the sanitory standard.

Second, eating home allows for a free choice of food because each person has a private taste. Third, eating at home is one of the best ways to enhance the relationship inside the family. A table is a good place where family members could talk about their happy day. To conclude, I prefer eating home to eating out.

六、【工作类】about job/career

托福口语Task2真题

Someone focuses on one job throughout his life, others like to change from one job to the other. Which one do you think is better, why? （07.2.10, 07. 12.10考题）(中立)

托福口语Task2回答模板

Sample answer：

Most of people choose their jobs according to their own working perceptions（理解）, so their expectations for jobs are different.

Each viewpoint has its advantages. For the former one, the constant job can provide people with stability, which will stimulate them to work harder. While, for the latter one, people will face more challenges and opportunity when jumping to another job.

However, there are also downsides for the two points. When people have worked for a company for a long time, they may easily lose the innovation（创新）, because they are too comfortable to change their current working conditions. Those who often change their jobs have to acquire time for them to adapt to new surroundings, which brings obstacles to a company at the rapid development. Since these two points of view have both pros and cons, no matter which one people select, the suitable one is the best one.
